Unforeseen Angels in Time of Need

From Left to Right: Ms. Lestine Barnes & Ms. Ernestine Thompson

My parents always tell us to count our blessings and give God thanks. My Mom talks about how God will always make a way and how much He cares for and loves everyone. She says we should count our blessings one by one. So I wanted to share with you two blessings that God sent to our family from two special people.

No one could imagine how nasty this virus would be or how it would change the world. My parents kept telling us how we needed to be thankful for what we have and pray to God to bless other people. They always tell us that but they wanted us to send up special prayers for people that are going through during this time. They told us not to be scared but to trust God and know that He will provide our every need if only we believe.

Ms. Lestine Barnes sent my Mom a large sum of money for my sister and me back in March. This was back when a lot of changes were happening with the virus and words like epidemic and pandemic were used. How sweet of her to send money for both of us!

Like my mother says, don’t forget those who have supported you in the past. I’ll never forget how happy it made me when my Mom told me that someone from Philadelphia had invested in the launch of my first book. Ms. Ernestine Thompson has never met us in person but heard about my story and book and make a big donation so my book launch would be successful. Look at God!

So whether you are in need or taking a chance to follow your dreams, God will send angels to bless you and contribute to your success. I am so grateful for people like these two who I consider two of God’s angels. I pray that God continues to bless them and blesses you too.

A Magical Experience from My Birthday Party

I know that the world is dealing with the ugly virus, but my parents made my birthday so special that I didn’t miss out on anything! I enjoyed two days of FUN in the sun! I had my favorite meal at my favorite place, Chick-fil-A and on Friday, I had a small party outside! That is when a magical experience happened that I just have to share with you!

I really didn’t think we would be able to do much of anything, but I was so surprised when I saw the bouncy house! I had so much fun sliding down the slide with my family! My Mommy even slid down once with us. 🙂 Then came the biggest surprise of them all!

My parents told me I could invite one friend and I picked my friend Braeden! I was so glad that he and his Mom, Mrs. Warren accepted my invitation. Our moms have been friends for over 30 years and now their children are friends. Isn’t that special?

As a matter of fact, Braeden and his Mom were present for my first book signing, which brings me to the special moment of my birthday. I learned that although there may be sad or ugly things in life, God gives us the gifts of friends who will be by our side, celebrate with us and encourage us to keep doing great things. If you have a friend you have every reason to celebrate.

Thank you to everyone that helped me celebrate my birthday and send me well wishes. What is one thing that you thank God for and will celebrate today? Please comment below so I can thank God and celebrate with you!

May God Bless,

Did You Know that July was National ICE CREAM Month?!!

See? It’s not just me that loves Ice Cream, but apparently President Ronald Regan did too.

According to the International Dairy Foods Association, July is National Ice Cream Month! In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day. In 2020, National Ice Cream Day will be Sunday, July 19th.

In the proclamation, President Reagan called for all people of the United States to observe these events with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.”

So, Let’s Celebrate!

Mom, can I know have a yummy bowl of ice cream? (I hope this time she doesn’t suggest a bowl of applesauce like last time. If you read my book or coloring book, My Ice Cream Dream!, you know exactly what I’m talking about.)
